Comment on Fifteen Verses Every Christian Should Memorize by Pastor Glenn https://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/2018/06/27/fifteen-verses-every-christian-should-memorize/#comment-1556
Thu, 28 Jun 2018 15:19:52 +0000http://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/?p=3124#comment-1556Since first writing this, I have added Proverbs 3:5-6 as a Basic Assurance verse — the promise of God’s guidance. Just an oversight, as it should have been included in the beginning. So, if anyone is counting, there are now 16 verses on my list of Fifteen Verses Every Christian Should Memorize!

Comment on Seven Problems with the Prosperity Gospel by m stair https://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/seven-problems-with-the-prosperity-gospel/#comment-1525
Thu, 05 Oct 2017 12:32:07 +0000http://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/?p=1412#comment-1525Scott McKnight says:

“The prosperity gospel (or the health and wealth gospel) teaches that God desires the material, spiritual, and physical prosperity of his people. To become prosperous, all one has to do is believe, receive, and act upon God’s promises.”

I think that the following of the prosperity gospel correlates to the absence of persecution in the believers life.

Individuals following the prosperity gospel principles – instead of the advice of the beatitude of Matthew 5:10 will find themselves safely secluded in conformity – where persecution cannot find them.”

Comment on Slow Down and Enjoy Life! by Pastor Glenn https://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/2017/06/14/slow-down-and-enjoy-life/#comment-1499
Wed, 14 Jun 2017 15:58:15 +0000http://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/?p=3063#comment-1499The third paragraph in the quote, which begins, “even when I was alone,” needs to be read again by everyone in ministry. It is the temptation of all in ministry to do instead of enjoy, to serve God rather than to know him.

Comment on Shack Movie by Pastor Glenn https://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/2017/02/27/shack-movie/#comment-1484
Thu, 02 Mar 2017 20:45:54 +0000http://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/?p=3014#comment-1484Desiring God posted a great commentary by David Mathis on the book, addressing a problem that I did not touch on. It is thoughtful and well done, and I have to agree with his conclusion that the book is more experience theology than biblical theology. “It may well represent what Young and many professing Christians believe today, but it does not well represent the theology and teachings of the Bible.”http://www.desiringgod.org/articles/what-does-the-shack-say-about-your-pain

Comment on Samson: Strength, Weakness, Grace by Pastor Glenn https://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/2010/03/20/samson-strength-weakness-grace/#comment-1457
Mon, 03 Oct 2016 16:01:51 +0000http://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/?p=467#comment-1457You’re welcome. Thanks for your kind words. I’m glad it was a help to you. Interesting note: This is the most popular post I have ever written. Almost everyday, people are searching for information about Samson’s weakness. God is his grace used him anyway; that encourages me in my weakness. God bless.

Comment on Samson: Strength, Weakness, Grace by Chris White https://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/2010/03/20/samson-strength-weakness-grace/#comment-1456
Sun, 02 Oct 2016 16:09:39 +0000http://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/?p=467#comment-1456Hey Pastor, Thank you for posting your message. I was reading this story from scripture this morning and noticed for the first time his weakness. I have heard this story all my life and it has always been told from the strength and being deceived perspective and never from Samson’s lack of self-awareness and weakness. I searched the net in the hope of finding more clarity and found your post. Thank you for taking the time to write this post and attach your message. Blessings!

Sat, 24 Sep 2016 21:38:31 +0000http://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/?p=86#comment-1454Here is an addition to the list from 2016. Randy Alcorn’s novel Safely Home. Possibly the most influential novel I have ever read, and only the second fiction to be on this list. I reviewed Safely Home here: https://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/2016/07/20/safely-home-an-awesome-book/

Comment on Narnia and the Election by Pastor Glenn https://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/2016/02/27/narnia-and-the-election/#comment-1436
Sat, 27 Feb 2016 22:44:41 +0000http://pastorglenn.wordpress.com/?p=2831#comment-1436I posted this just this morning, and then ran into this article about Max Lucado breaking his political silence on Trump as well. Good thoughts.
